(UNN) The Ukrainian company A3tesh-Ukraine has received a certificate of conformity for its MV-10 mine clearance vehicle and has secured an order for eight units. According to the Ministry of Economy, this is a significant step in the nation's efforts towards humanitarian demining. The demand for such equipment is high among sappers, and it is crucial that Ukrainian companies manufacture and assemble these machines. First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko highlighted the importance of increasing the number of mine clearance machines and improving their service quality.
A3tesh currently produces up to 40% of the MV-10 components and plans to localize 100% by the end of the year, with an annual production capacity of 60 vehicles. Additionally, two other Ukrainian enterprises contribute components and trawls for transportation. Seventeen MV-10 vehicles are already in use, mainly in the Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions, clearing 850 hectares and destroying over 4,500 explosive objects. The Ministry of Defense has commissioned over 100 new types of domestic ammunition since the Russian invasion began.
